Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 38 – Within three days, the Demon-slaying Sword Technique

"Elder Lin has been a great help to me; his dream is my dream. If these trivial matters affect your cultivation, I would feel uneasy," Meng Fan frowned.

"But..."

"There are no buts. Your task now is not to manage the Sword Pavilion, but to cultivate!" Senior Disciple Luo interrupted Meng Fan directly, his expression turning serious.

With things put so bluntly, any further hesitation from Meng Fan would seem ungrateful.

He could only say helplessly, "Alright, Senior Brother Luo, I'll listen to you, but let me take care of wiping the swords! Touching these swords gives me many insights into the Sword Technique, which greatly aids my cultivation!"

Senior Disciple Luo hesitated, but upon hearing that it helped with cultivation, he finally nodded in agreement.

Although he found it hard to understand how wiping swords could aid in cultivation, he did notice something unusual about Meng Fan each time he wiped the swords.

After the conversation, Meng Fan immediately went to wipe the swords.

He had gone to Elder Lin's place at Dragon Hour in the morning and then returned to his room to study the newly acquired techniques. He hadn't wiped the swords yet that day.

Forty swords a day was the task he set for himself.

The Essence of the Sword from these forty swords was just enough to meet his daily cultivation needs.

This time, the forty swords he wiped were all ordinary, without even a hint of Malevolent Aura, and Meng Fan finished quickly.

In the evening, back in his room, he began to cultivate.

To his surprise, with the boost from the Essence of the Sword, he was able to simultaneously run the Spirit Wind Profound Art and the Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture.

Cultivating two techniques at once was not just a matter of multitasking, but also using one body for two purposes!

It was a bit monstrous!

But Meng Fan had long gotten used to his own monstrousness; after all, it was a good thing.

Cultivating two techniques at the same time, plus a Qi Gathering Pill, a drop of Spirit Gathering Liquid, and the Essence of the Sword...

Meng Fan's cultivation speed was so fast that describing it as riding a rocket wouldn't be an exaggeration.

The next day at Dragon Hour, Meng Fan returned to the second floor of the Sword Pavilion.

Elder Lin began to clarify his doubts about cultivation, mostly about the Supreme Dominance Body and the Willow Fluff on the Wind movement technique, with a few questions about the Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture.

As for the Thunderous Sword Technique, Meng Fan did not consult Elder Lin at all.

After practicing the Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture, Meng Fan had successfully executed the third move of the Thunderous Sword Technique, the Thunder Explosion!

He believed it wouldn't be long before he, with his Talent for Sword Dao Transcendence, would master the Sword Rhyme of the Thunderous Sword Technique.

An hour later, Meng Fan left the second floor of the Sword Pavilion and returned to his room to continue his cultivation.

In the afternoon, while Meng Fan was cultivating, he was interrupted.

Liu Yanping, Senior Sister Liu, came to the Sword Pavilion specifically to find Meng Fan.

Meng Fan hadn't been to the Training Hall for some time because the sword techniques practiced by the disciples there no longer attracted him.

Or rather, he had learned them all!

During the time Meng Fan hadn't visited the Training Hall and stayed in the Sword Pavilion, Liu Yanping naturally hadn't seen Meng Fan for a long time.

Of course, her visit wasn't because she missed Meng Fan, but because she truly had a matter to discuss!

Although Meng Fan was extremely handsome, Liu Yanping's heart belonged to someone else; she had always harbored a secret love for Senior Disciple Nie.

In her eyes, Meng Fan was just a friend, and a friend who was both a mentor and a peer.

But this situation was clear to both Meng Fan and Liu Yanping, yet Senior Disciple Luo was unaware.

Senior Disciple Luo always thought there was something more between Liu Yanping and Meng Fan, even to the point where Meng Fan had "admitted" it before!

So when he saw Liu Yanping looking for Meng Fan, Senior Disciple Luo didn't hesitate to inform him.

He felt he had the potential to be a matchmaker!

"Senior Sister Liu, what brings you here?" In the hall on the first floor of the Sword Pavilion, Meng Fan looked at Liu Yanping with some surprise.

No one visits a temple without a cause!

Meng Fan didn't think like Senior Disciple Luo, that Liu Yanping liked him.

So if Liu Yanping took the initiative to find him at the Sword Pavilion, it must be for a reason.

"Junior Brother Meng, I need your help with something," Liu Yanping said to Meng Fan.

After speaking, she glanced at Senior Disciple Luo.

Senior Disciple Luo gave an awkward smile, put away his gossiping heart, and voluntarily left the place, returning to his room.

"What is it?" After Senior Disciple Luo left, Meng Fan asked Liu Yanping.

"I came to consult you about sword techniques!" Liu Yanping replied.

Actually, Liu Yanping's answer was within Meng Fan's expectations.

Because this young lady sought him out for nothing other than sword techniques.

This was the only thing he could help her with.

"But your Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword has already been perfected to the point of Sword Rhyme; it's hard to make any short-term improvements," Meng Fan said with a slight frown.

Liu Yanping's Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique had reached a limit.

Even if Meng Fan continued to guide her, she wouldn't be able to make any breakthroughs.

"It's not the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword; it's the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique!" Liu Yanping said somewhat helplessly.

Demon-Slaying Sword Technique?

Meng Fan was puzzled; this was the first time he heard of this technique.

And if he remembered correctly, Liu Yanping had never practiced this sword technique.

Previously, when guiding Liu Yanping, she had told Meng Fan all the sword techniques she practiced, and he didn't recall this Demon-Slaying Sword Technique.

"You've never mentioned this technique before!" Meng Fan said.

"Right, I've never learned it before, which is why I came to you," Liu Yanping said with a wry smile. "I must master this technique within three days!"

Master a sword technique within three days?

Meng Fan looked at Liu Yanping in astonishment.

If he wanted to master a sword technique, three days would certainly be more than enough without question.

For instance, the Thunderous Sword Technique, which was clearly "advanced," Meng Fan had mastered in just one day!

"What is this Demon-Slaying Sword Technique? Why must you master it within three days?" Meng Fan asked, puzzled. He didn't understand why Liu Yanping was so urgent.

Liu Yanping explained with a helpless expression, "In three days, it's time for the Inner Sect Disciples to go out for field training. Any Inner Sect Disciple who is eighteen and wishes to train outside can sign up!"

"And then?" Meng Fan nodded and prompted.

"Then, I'm turning eighteen this year and was all set to go out for field training.

But today, I found out that to go out for training, I must master the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique!

My family thinks it's dangerous outside, so they deliberately hid this information from me to prevent me from going out.

I was so excited to sign up today, only to learn this news, and I was furious!!!"

Hearing Liu Yanping's words, Meng Fan was somewhat amused.

All this fuss for that?

"Then just don't go out for field training. Isn't it nice to stay at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect?" Meng Fan casually suggested.

He had no interest in going out for field training. Cultivating quietly and steadily at Shu Mountain, becoming stronger in silence, was much better!
